By John F. Conway Chief Visioneer Officer What Disney Imagineers Can Teach Drug and Therapy Discovery Operations About Data and Reproducibility In the early days of Walt Disney’s Imagineering team, the magic was real – but the record-keeping was not. According to Imagineering lore, almost nothing was written down in those pioneering years.[1] Ride concepts and design tweaks were tacit knowledge  that lived in engineers’ heads or in ad-hoc conversations. Reproducibility was e

“The Long Evolution of Scientific Work, and the Disruptive Arrival of AI" by Steven Bates, Ph.D. The latest generation of AI tools has already begun to be transformative to scientific informatics, and this may be only the beginning stages of an even more profound transformation of the nature of scientific work, and of the products of scientists’ labor. As those changes arrive, people are having to grapple with the adjustments in thinking needed to take the fullest advantag

By Steven Bates, Ph.D. When I worked as a bench scientist, one of the truisms I learned about proteomics (and molecular biology in general) was that they’re “as much an art as a science.” In my experience, the same is true in many respects for Scientific Data Management.  I’ve lately taken to calling myself a Data Sculptor, which is only half tongue-in-cheek.  The metaphor already gets some usage in software development with wireframes. Like a physical wireframe, an informati

By Alexander Goldberg, Ph.D. Visiting Senior Materials Science Visioneer A new angle on nuclear waste management through carbon nanomaterials and molecular modeling. As the global nuclear energy landscape evolves, decommissioning of nuclear reactors has emerged as a critical task—not only from a technical standpoint but also from environmental and policy perspectives. One of the most persistent challenges is the long-term storage of radioactive isotopes, especially cesium-13
